Y-Bike

Yale University’s departmental bicycle sharing program provided participating university departments with free commuter bicycles for campus use. Over 40 bikes were distributed, which have collectively logged over 7,000 miles since the program’s inception in May 2008.

The Transportation Options program coordinated the original purchase and delivery of the bikes, but they are now managed by the individual department owners. No new bikes will be issued. Please see the bikeshare page for more information on how you can access a shared bike.

Y-Bike Rules and Regulations

Super Commuters

If you drive to work every day, you may not think about the impact that it has on your health (lack of exercise, reduced air quality), wallet (car payments, insurance, gas, wear and tear on your vehicle), and environment (greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants). It may be time for a lifestyle change to shake things up a bit and start to “think outside the car.” These three Super Commuters have done just that, taking advantage of a career change, a change in weather, and a surprise gift to start a healthier and more sustainable commute.
